Patent EP-0372923-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MILLER PAUL ALLAN
IPC: B64G1/24
Filed: 1989-12-06
Abstract: An intermediate-distance method for approach or separation of a spacecraft relative to a target vehicle is used in a range of distances of a few meters to a few tens of kilometers when the vehicles are in coplanar low Earth orbits. The method establishes a local horizontal at one vehicle, and propulsion is applied to maintain a line between the target vehicle and spacecraft at a constant angle relative to the local horizontal. The method is particularly attractive for use when the only information conveniently available is bearing (angle) and possibly bearing rate. When the orbits are not coplanar, thrust is applied in the cross-orbital-plane direction with an amplitude which is a maximum at the moment that one spacecraft lies in the orbital plane of the other.

Abstract: An improved CMOS data recovery system for accurately quantify­ing the peak-to-peak magnitude of a input signal including a precision gain amplifier, positive and negative peak detectors and a switched capacitive amplifier. These components are coupled to form a signal magnitude detector (30) which re­ceives the input signal and outputs a single ended signal (33) which is compared in a comparator (34) with a reference signal (37) to provide a control signal when the differential signal is of a sufficient peak to peak voltage magnitude. The con­trol signal is used to gate the input signal in an AND circuit (35) and generate an output signal (36) representative of the input data.

Abstract: A tank accessing procedure is disclosed which allows for the replace­ment of a cover plate from a tank manway with an adapter having the capability of permitting access to the interior of the enclosure, without any appreciable spillage of the contents of the tank, even if the level of such tank contents is above the height of the manway. In particular, the method comprises first inserting a blanking plate between the cover plate and the manway flange, which blanking plate is then secured to the manway flange. The cover plate is then removed leaving the blanking plate as the sole means of retaining the tank contents in place. The adapter is then secured to the manway flange and the blanking plate is removed thereby completing the accessing operation.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for enabling a plurality of computers and associated computer resources, some or all of which may be of heterogeneous configuration, to cooperatively process a variety of applications such that the execution is transparent to the user regardless of where the application is actually executing. This distributed applications architecture performs an information distribution service between multiple transaction processing systems by working with a transaction processor via communication channels to other hosts within the network and a dialog manager (26) which uses a transaction processor interface (78) to communicate with the transaction processor. Additionally, the architecture employs a map service (36,40) to provide an editor to allow application programmers to create the maps (40) for the application panels, a compiler to generate the maps into linkable form, and a linkable interpreter which translates the linkable form into the screen presentation format for that platform. Furthermore, to distribute an application, the source code for the procedures (32), views (38) and panels are moved as a block to the new system. This is possible because once the application source code is complete, all of the application logic, user interface control tables, view definitions. and other application-specific tables for one transaction definition are packaged by the present invention in a single load module on the system where the application will reside. The load module is then compiled using the target system's compiler, link editor, and bind process. Thus, all environment-dependent variations of import export. including network protocol, operating systems, processor types, etc., are automatically integrated with the application at load module bind time. Therefore, no source code changes are necessary.

Abstract: A system for determining when a remote computer user is authorized to communicate with a host computer and to establish a ciphering key to be used for the communications session. A random number is generated at the host computer, ciphered under the user's PIN, and sent to the remote user where it is deciphered under the PIN to provide a session key. In one embodiment, this key is reciphered under the PIN, sent to the host computer, and deciphered under the PIN. The deciphered value is equal to the generated random number when the correct PIN's are used, thereby validating the user. In another embodiment, the deciphered random number at the remote user location is used as a key to cipher the PIN which is sent to the host, deciphered under the random number, and compared with the PIN existing at the host. Subsequent ciphering can use the determined session key as a ciphering key. Additional security can be realized by adding random digits to the PIN, masking some of the developed keys, and sending the user ID to the host in ciphered form. This system does not require a stored key in the remote computer or the transfer in the clear of the PIN between computers.

Abstract: The electropneumatic device for controlling the pressure in the main air line (37) of compressed air brakes on rail vehicles is provided with an inlet solenoid valve (3) and an outlet solenoid valve (4) for controlling the pressure in a control chamber (26) of a relay valve (19). The compressed air supply of the inlet solenoid valve (3) and of the relay valve (19) is effected from a main container line (34). The relay valve (39) which is controlled by the pressure in the control chamber (26) counter to the pressure in the main air line (37) controls the feeding in and carrying away of the compressed air for the main air line (37). In order to avoid undesired triggering of the relay valve (19) when pressure changes are effected in the main line (37) in some other way, the two sides of the piston (20) of the relay valve (19) are short-circuited in an unthrottled manner in the non-actuated state of the control device (2) by means of secondary valve components (13 and 14, respectively) of the two solenoid valves (3 and 4). <IMAGE>
